## What it is
Phoenix LiveView is an Elixir library for building rich, real-time web user interfaces with server-rendered HTML over WebSockets. It sends minimal DOM diffs after initial render, enabling interactive apps without writing client-side JavaScript.

## Use cases
- build real-time dashboards with server-rendered html
- create interactive forms with live validation without javascript
- build chat or collaborative apps in elixir
- replace react spa with server-driven ui
- add real-time updates to a phoenix web app
- handle file uploads with progress indicators
- build multiplayer or live-updating web interfaces

## When to choose
- you're building a Phoenix/Elixir web app with rich interactivity
- you want real-time UI updates without maintaining a separate JavaScript frontend
- you want stateful UI logic close to your data on the server
- you need low-bandwidth updates via minimal DOM diffs

## When to avoid
- you need a fully offline-capable or heavily client-side SPA
- your team has no Elixir/Phoenix experience
- you need complex client-side animations or a large JS ecosystem of components
- you're not using the Phoenix web framework
